West Sussex is the perfect place to grow old, study finds

It's partly down to the county's good weather and low crime ratePrudential's latest Quality of Retirement Index has named the county has the best place to retire in England and Wales. It overtakes Dorset as the most attractive county for pensioners, with East Sussex, Devon and Norfolk making up the top five.

This follows a study that was published in January in the American Journal of Public Health that found women who had children later (over the age of 25) were 11 per cent more likely to live into their 90s.

According to a paper published in the Journal of Public Health, women who had their first baby later than those who became mothers in their teens and 20 s , were likely to live longer . Three men, 96 children : Pakistan’s population booms.

Researchers aggregated data from EU countries between 2004 and 2013 and looked at the life spans of women, as well as noting if they had children and the age in which they had their first. They also examined other factors that would affect a woman's life expectancy.

Men Suffer from Postpartum Depression Too—but No One Is Talking About It

In recent years, women and their caregivers have made recognition and treatment of postpartum depression disorder (PPD) a priority—including recognizing the silent signs of PPD. Good thing, since each year approximately 950,000 women suffer from the mood disorder, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports. But all the educational efforts are geared to women—and new research suggests men may actually face a higher risk of the disorder if their testosterone levels drop after their children are delivered.

A new study has shown that women who wait until their 30 s to have children are more likely to live longer lives , but why? The research looked at these womens ’ life spans, if they had children , and the age when they had their first baby.

A study published in the Journal of Public Health by researchers at the University of Coimbra in Portugal found that women tend to live longer if they get pregnant later in life – and this is particularly true if they wait to have their first child .

In their conclusion, the authors wrote: 'There are several determinant factors of women's life expectancy. The most surprising factor is the age of women at pregnancy, which may provide evidence to promote pregnancy in the early 30s.'

Although attitudes have modernised over the last couple of decades regarding what age it is best to have children, there continues to be pressure on the idea that a woman's fertility rapidly decreases when she hits 30. However, plenty of this research is outdated or has been proven wrong.

While it is often quoted that one in three women over 35 will struggle to get pregnant, this statistic is actually 300 years old. In addition to this, a 2004 study of more than 770 European women found that 82 per cent of 35-39 year olds are likely to get pregnant within a year if they are trying at least twice a week.

In much of the UK, the majority of all births are to women over 30. According to the Office of National Statistics report in 2015, 53 per cent of all live births in England and Wales were to mothers over 30 – with the average age of a mother being 30.3 years. Two thirds of fathers (68 per cent) were aged 30 and over.

The average age of first-time mothers is just under 30 at 28.6 years old. An ONS statistician said at the time: 'Falling birth rates among the under 30s and rising birth rates at older ages reflect trends evident since the mid-1970s to delay childbearing to later ages"'

This is why we should help elderly people get out the house this winter .
It's good for their physical and mental healthIt seems that (regardless of health status or functional capacity) older people benefit both physically and mentally from leaving the house regularly, as it simultaneously encourages exercise and reduces an individual's chances of developing depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses.
